what do you think of it?

Was the 31 by itself? Or did it have coaches? You can only see the locos cab in your pictures, for some reason you've cut out the rest of the train?

Stand a little further forwards in future, and you'll get the loco and the stock in, and people will be able to see it all...

Also, theres 20 photos of units (including a tube train?) in that gallery and 3 photos of the 31. Why not take some more photos of the Belle rather than units - your title does say the olympian belle, after all. A more appropriate title for the collection might be "Loads of units and a 31"...

The photos of the 313 are quite clear compared to the rest of the photos in this collection - how did you take them? If you could get the rest of your phots looking like this your site would be much better.

btw - I see you're still uploading like EVERY photo you take

Why put pics like this online? :

I'm sure that we gave you advice on this before, in the other thread?

On a whole though, I'd say better - keep it up and someday you'll perfect the fine art

Won't bother in future, would I have got a more involved answer if I wrote "Yeh, all great photos?" ?

Keep practicing and you'll get better at it. May I ask what camera you have, im guessing its a digital as most people use digital nowadays (me still uses the old film camera "when" I go out..) Do you use the camera on manual or automatic? Some of those dodgy light shots look like you might have it on manual

Ah, my good ol' Pentax ME Super... example, the trains comin and its full sun on a nice summers day, then a big splodgy cloud decides to shadow half the train... quick reactions needed

Another example... the train you've been waiting for for the past 2 hours comes around the bend and for some stupid reason you haven't wond on the film, to realise that you've reached the end of the film and need to change it in approximately 10 seconds... lol, the days

Have you not seen the pattern emerging ?

Upload every photo ever taken, specifically ask for feedback, and then bitch like a child when people point out they are generally fuzzy out of focus pictures of a sleeper.

Yeh, I'm not the only one thinking that then...

the fact he asks "what do you think of it?" kind of suggests he wants feedback.

Seriously - 1288gaje - try doing some of what we suggest, people just loose interest otherwise!!

Also, howcome you always go to Clapham? Try some different locations, bit of variety... there's loads of freight and interesting trains up in London, try to see some!
